I am still psyched for this game. I enjoyed AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2, so I'm sure I will be okay learning to play around this games idiosyncrasies. Oh, and the Multiplayer still looks like loads of fun. Please, NOA, just release this for $39.99 and it'll be a decent seller.

I will say though that this game looks rough. Not unplayable rough, but not up to the standards that I expect from Itagaki-san and former members of Team Ninja. Look at NINJA GAIDEN for the original X-BOX. That is a ten year old game, which also had a labored development, that still looks amazing to this day. I think they had problems porting over the code to Wii U and they need to get it out so they are cutting their losses. I will be playing it because it looks hilarious. But with more development time the fluidity between melee and firearm combat could be smoothed out. I do realize that Ivan is NOT Ryu Hyabusa and that his attacks will be slower and more deliberate, I just hope I can get some sort of rhythm down. Overall I think this will be a 5/10. 7 if the MP is as awesome as it looks.

I still pull out my copy and play a few times a year. I know I am in the minority, but this game is a 9/10 for me. I never had any issues with the controls and love all of the story elements. I sold the original NSMB the day this came out just so I could afford it. Also, the strategy element, something that should be in all of the Star Fox titles. Seriously, after having online multiplayer in this title I was dumbfounded to see that it was omited from STAR FOX 64 3D. This game made ASSAULT look like it was made by a third party... oh ... wait ...

A great proponent for interactive entertainment being a key part of the modern family experience. He pushed innovation and demanded perfection of gameplay. May the tradition continue. Goodbye Iwata-san, and thank you.

Really was hoping for this over summer, But after the Zelda U delay I knew it would not be here in the States until the holidays. Now, where the heck is my DEVIL'S THIRD to tide me over after I finish ARKHAM KNIGHT!?!?

I love this game. I love that it's hard. And I love that when I emailed @cypronia that they confirmed inverted controls for the first patch. Made the world map for fun and WOW; I will definitely get my $6 worth!!

Imagine an episodic tale with Star Fox and crew either being framed for a terrorist attack or being asked to infiltrate a new threat. Like MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE and 24, each episode offers a different mini story that contributes to a season-wide arc. So one episode would see the team flying to Corneria during an atrack. After taking out some foes the enemy drops a mech into the middle of the city. Falco has to jump into a mech and fight it (Project Robot). End Episode. Or perhaps the team has to fly to an outlying system and the infiltrate an enemy base and Slippy needs to hang back and monitor the surveillance system (Project Guard). I am very excited for the possibilities in gameplay and story telling this format could afford.

My buddy Gavin has 2 VBs and he pulls them out for gaming nights. They're always a hit. Truly ahead of its time. SNATCHER is in my top 10 games of all time... Still have my SEGA CD copy. Really was hoping for a Wii or Wii U HD remake/port. Imagine using the WiiMote as your blaster or the GamePad for analyzing crime scenes. Or even make the shooting segments like FACE RAIDERS where you have to get up and spin around your living room looking for/facing off encroaching Snatchers. Hmmm, a boy can dream...

With ZELDA being delayed, I imagine that this will be pushed back untill November to fill the gap. With YOSHI and STAR FOX being their Thanksgiving or early December releases. I see DEVIL'S THIRD grabbing October. And of course MARIO MAKER in September. Hmmmm. I was really hoping to play this by August. My fingers are still crossed. Guess I'll just have to play ARKHAM KNIGHT this Summer ; )

My 16-bit system was a Genesis. And while my STREET FIGHTER ran amazingly and CONTRA was spectacular, I was still envious of the rich color palette, rotational effects, and sound capabilities which the SNES had to offer. It may just be apples to oranges, but after awhile I got tired of all the explosions of Genesis games sounding like snare drums. I will say, I do like most cross-platform releases better on the Genesis, though. The colors look darker. (EWJ on Sega FTW!!!)

RE4. Pre-ordered it at Gamestop. Still have the demo disc and making-of DVD that you got a month before. My friends and I played that demo every day, endlessly until January 11th, 2005. The demo was just the intro in the village, but the enemy a.i. and combat system, and environment interaction made every run through a different experience. Then came MERCENARIES mode and it changed everything, again. Undisputedly GAME OF THE YEAR 2005 on every platform. And easily in the top 5 of that generation.

I'm going to call NOA tomorrow morning and complain. Then I'm going to spam them with emails. I want a black New 3DS. I want them to at least offer them online. I can order faceplates through PlayAsia....

Holiday 2017, especially if they are looking to merge their portable and console development and hardware. The 3DS has some legs since it has no competition outside of iOS. Let the WiiU breathe a little and let the 3DS stay strong before you 'Change The System.'

I would love this to play ROMS of my classic games collection. The PSP/PSV has been able to do this for almost a decade. One question; will downloading this thing brick my system? If so I will have to wait until I get my New 3DS as well. This launch system in my hands can be my ROM machine!

I like to play some ETERNAL DARKNESS and REs 1 & 4 in preparation for All Hallow's Eve. ZOMBIU, though.... I really want to get back into that one. Honestly, I should just hook up my CDX and rock some SNATCHER!!! ; )

CIRCLE OF THE MOON FOR LIFE. But I'm still downloading yet... My room mate at the time bought it, but I didn't play it. (Was too busy playing FF7, ETERNAL DARKNESS, and METROID PRIME at the time.) Looks like now's the perfect chance as I was incredibly underwhelmed by MIRROR OF FATE and LOS2. Seriously Konami, CASTLEVANIA and CONTRA are my two favorite franchises; time to step it up!

ALIEN STORM, STRIDER, SHADOW DANCER, CASTLE OF ILLUSION.... Great stuff. I sold my NES and games to upgrade to a Genesis because I loved SPIDER-MAN VS. THE KINGPIN so much. I still have most of my games. I was 10 at that time and still feel that it was the Golden Age of Gaming.

I think I will start a new file on DIG because of this fabulous news. It looks to scratch that itch for a FIREFLY game I've had for a while now. This game is day one for me. Now the only question... WiiU or 3DS????
